What year did the 6.0 come in the SSR?
The Chevrolet SSR, a retro-styled roadster pickup truck, was introduced in 2003 and produced until 2006. The 6.0-liter V8 engine option was available starting in 2005, the third year of the SSR's production run.
The Chevrolet SSR
The Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster) was a unique vehicle that combined the styling of a 1950s Chevrolet pickup with the performance and handling of a modern sports car. It featured a retractable hardtop roof, allowing it to transform from a closed coupe to an open-air roadster.
The 6.0-Liter V8 Engine
The Chevrolet SSR was initially offered with a 5.3-liter V8 engine, but in 2005, Chevrolet introduced a more powerful 6.0-liter V8 option. This engine, also known as the LS2, produced 390 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, providing a significant boost in performance over the standard 5.3-liter engine.
The Year the 6.0 Arrived
The 6.0-liter V8 engine option for the Chevrolet SSR was first introduced in the 2005 model year. This engine upgrade was a response to customer demand for more power and performance in the unique roadster-pickup hybrid.
The 6.0-liter V8 engine remained an option for the 2006 model year, which was the final year of production for the Chevrolet SSR.
